For those of you that have seen my other posts lately you will already know that I have been trying to achieve a near perfect distro of Linux which will run well on the Rikomagic MK802.

I have tested lots of different variations of Linux by using disk images created by Miniand and then applying various hacks provided by the developer community to make everything work as it should do.

I have created a disk image which I feel works extremely well. In a way it also "summarises" where we are with Linux on the MK802 right now. It provides a completely useable desktop environment that can even be used by even the newest of Linux users.

This image is based on Lubuntu 12.04 with LXDE desktop, modified uboot by Suzuke and the latest Kernel available which has been compiled by Toby Corkindale.

The device finds my WiFi when I'm running Android. When I start MK802 Linux it tells me there is a wireless network available but when I go to Applications>Preferences>Network>Wireless, I can't see my WiFi network at all.
